The Mac is the next platform to be getting Borderlands 2. The Gearbox-developed sequel which has already shipped over 5 million copies will be expanding its reach to the Mac with developer Aspyr handling the conversion of the title to the Mac OS X platform. Aspyr is well known for its Mac conversions, and is the logical choice to handle the porting of Borderlands 2 for Mac gamers.

The Mac version will offer the same drop-in/drop-out features that we have seen in other versions of Borderlands 2, and Mac gamers will be happy to know this. According to sources, the Mac version will feature pretty much everything that we saw in the Windows version, so it should be popular with Mac gamers once it arrives. Speaking of the arrival of the Mac version, it isn’t that far off, with November 20th said to be targeted for the release of the Mac version.

With the arrival of the Mac version of Borderlands 2, one can only wonder which platform might get Borderlands 2 next. If you are thinking the Wii U, you might be right, but only Gearbox knows, as it has not issued any official announcement about a Wii U port; but we doubt that will stop Nintendo fans from wanting it. It would not surprise us though, if we see it on the Wii U at some point early next year.

Auction house Sotheby's auction has offered up an exceptionally rare Apple 1 computer.

The computer is one of just 200 and was the first ever batch of computers ever produced by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976. For those who came in late, Apple once used to make computers before becoming one of the world's leading toymakers.

Steve Wozniak will appear in person at the auction. It is expected that the rare machines sold for somewhere in the region of $120,000 to £180,000, which means that they have held their value.

The Apple 1 was dismissed by everyone except Paul Terrell, the owner of a chain of stores called Byte Shop, who ordered 50 for $500 each which he then offered to the public for $666. Of course, everyone knows is the number of the anti-Christ.

Terrell insisted that the circuit boards come fully assembled rather than as kits, so Wozniak built the 50 in just 30 days. When these were complete, they continued working and produced a further 150 which they sold to mates and other vendors for the retail price.

In a surprise announcement, Square Enix has confirmed that Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be headed to the Mac OS X platform. It will be released as basically the “Augmented Edition” that includes the Missing Link DLC.

The Mac retail version will be tagged the ‘Ultimate Edition’ when it hits retail. Besides the Missing Link DLC pack and the Mission and Tactical Enhancement packs, it will come with the soundtrack, an art book, a making-of-documentary, motion comic, animated storyboard, and CGI trailer.

It will be one of the first recent gaming releases on the Mac that is a true special edition with all of the extras. It is expected that Mac fans will be quite excited and anxious to get their hands on this one when it drops.

Apple has confirmed that the next evolution of OS X for the Mac (or 10.7, if you are counting) shall be called Lion. While no release date has been announced, it will meld many of the popular features from the iOS used in the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad into the next version of the OS.

While the Mac App Store will be one of the big things to be integrated into Lion, we know that the multi-touch gesture support, auto-save/auto resume within apps, and unification of full screen apps (called Mission Control) will be at the heart of what we will find in 10.7 when released.

The new Mac App Store will arrive in about 90 days for those running Snow Leopard ahead of Lion’s release. A number of the features should close the gap between what users are able to do on the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad; and apparently, this is what Apple thinks users want.

Of course, this will make the recently released Magic Trackpad more valuable, as the more robust gesture support will make it almost a necessary accessory.
